Goals of the organisation

1. GGL Austria, which is a non-profit organisation, seeks to reduce the growing threat to civilian populations stemming from landmines and comparable weapons of war, and to mitigate the suffering caused by these weapons. Specifically, this involves:

a. In developing countries, in keeping with the OECD list of countries receiving Official Development Assistance (ODA):

Providing assistance and charitable support to needy refugees and those who have sustained injuries from weapons of war

Supporting disaster relief activities and the prevention of accidents, as well as rescuing people from life-threatening situations

Providing information to local people in affected areas about the dangers posed by landmines

b. In Austria and EEA countries:

Informing the public about the dangers of landmines and where they have been laid

Increasing international understanding and peaceful coexistence

Supporting education and occupational training as well as science and research in the areas mentioned

2. GGL Austria only supports projects that destroy explosive materials completely, that do not endanger the peace and stability of the affected regions and that are carried out exclusively in an unarmed manner.

3. GGL Austria pursues charitable objectives that are exclusively and directly of a non-profit nature as defined by the Federal Fiscal Code of Austria. It carries out its activities in a selfless manner.

It does not pursue any objectives for its own financial interest and it is not oriented towards earnings or profit.

Its assets are used exclusively for purposes in keeping with legal statutes.
